Abstract: A method and apparatus for storing and retrieving a number of PIN codes for protected-access devices, in particular smart cards and magnetic stripe cards, involves storage of the individual PIN codes together with a unique feature of the associated protected-access device in a special apparatus, in particular a pocket card reader. The data stored in the pocket card reader can be accessed by a freely selected access code. By entry of the access code and the unique feature into the pocket card reader, the PIN number associated with the unique feature is found and indicated on a display for a short time. The unique feature may be a serial number that is inputted into the pocket card reader via a keyboard or automatically determined and used by the pocket card reader. The stored unique features and particular associated individual PIN codes may be encoded by means of the access code before they are stored. The access code remains stored as long as it is required for encoding or decoding.

Abstract: A carrier device including a flexible adhesive base plate with an opening for securing the carrier device to a user's skin around a stoma, and a substantially circumferential flange made of a flexible material and adapted for removable and adhesive connection with a coupling element of an ostomy collecting bag. The outer portion of the flange is free to move relative to the base plate and is more flexible than the inner portion of the flange. As a result, the outer portion can absorb movements between the carrier device and the collecting bag, thus protecting against peeling of the bond between the flange members as well as providing a cushioning effect against forces acting on the periphery of the flanges, while the less flexible inner portion can withstand deformations originating from the adhesive base plate.

Abstract: Apparatus for storing items within vehicle compartments that can be manipulated into an operative position and a closed position with a single hand are provided. Apparatus includes a base disposed on or within a vehicle compartment floor and having a surface that is exposed to the vehicle compartment when the apparatus is in an operative (i.e., open) position. A rear panel is pivotally attached to the base and is movable between a closed position overlying the base surface and an open position substantially normal to the base surface. End panels are movably attached to respective end portions of the rear panel. The end panels are movable between a stored position in face-to-face relation with the rear panel and an operative position disposed substantially normal to the base surface and to the rear panel. The end panels move from their respective stored positions to operative positions in response to movement of the rear panel from its closed position to its open position. One or more partition panels that are movably attached to either the rear panel or to the base surface, may be provided. Each partition panel divides the compartment into multiple sections when in the operative position. Each partition panel is movable between a stored position in face-to-face relation with the rear panel (or base surface) and an operative position disposed substantially normal to the base surface and to the rear panel.

Abstract: A mechanism for the deployment of a filamentous endovascular device includes an elongate, flexible, hollow deployment tube having an open proximal end, and a coupling element attached to the proximal end of the endovawular device. The deployment tube includes a distal section terminating in an open distal end, with a lumen defined between the proximal and distal ends. A retention sleeve is fixed around the distal section and includes a distal extension extending a short distance past the distal end of the deployment tube. The emovascular device is attached to the distal end of the deployment robe during the manufacturing process by fixing the retention sleeve around the coupling element, so that the coupling element is releasably held within the distal extension of the deployment tube. In use, the deployment mbe, with the implant attached to its distal end, is passed though a microcatheter to a target vascular site until the endovascular device is deployed within the site. To detach the endovascular device from the deployment tube a biocompatible liquid is injected through the lumen of the deployment tube so as to apply pressure to the upstream side of the coupling element, which is thus pushed out of the retention sleeve by the fluid pressure, thereby detaching the endovascular device from the deployment tube. The coupling element may be a solid "plug" of polymeric material or metal, or it may be formed of a hydrophilic polymer that softens and becomes somewhat lubricious when contacted by the injected liquid. With the latter type of material, the hydration of the hydrophilic material results in physical changes that reduce the adhesion between the coupling element and the sleeve. Alternatively, the coupling element can be made principally of a non-hydrophilic material, with a hydrophilic coating.
